Jakub Jelen 6cf5f0e340 sftp: Cap maximum SFTP write
The curl does not do any (or enough) chunking when writing large files using the
sftp_write() function which causes some servers to choke [1]. The simplest
solution is to limit the SFTP packet size according the SFTP specification
recommendation which is 32768 B and not write more.

This means the function will not write the whole amount of data it was asked to
write and the calling applications are required to handle the return values
correctly.

More complicated solution would be to send several SFTP packet from the single
sftp_write() function by iterating over the all data passed.

The next improvement in the long term should be respecting the value reported by
the server in the limits@openssh.com extension, which specifies the maximum
packet size and reads/writes explicitly (if supported).
